Let’s get down to cases, Glen. What’s in a Glen Tomkins Vice-Presidency for me?

Not to be indiscreet…

…but I have to point out that I also have not had a speaking slot assigned to me at the convention.

Those other guys who haven’t had their speaking slots announced? I don’t want to give anything away, but they would do that in order to provide cover for the guy they were really going to give it to. Just saying…

This could be the stupidest web site on the left.

Do you deranged moron’s know Kennedy picked LBJ. And not because he was the hero of the liberals.

It was because he helped win, or steal, Texas.

So if Bayh or Kaine can help win Virginia or Indiana, that would mean Obama would win. I thought that was the plan.

When can the left get a website that isn’t a babbling idiot.

“Anyone who actually believes that Sam Nunn would help Obama win the state of Georgia is invited to click here.”

Pah! I reject your reality and substitute my own. ;)

Actually, I’d recommend checking the GA poll results from the last few election cycles before claiming that a definitive proof. Obama has already cut significantly into 2004′s percentages, and the addition of former GA Congressman Bob Barr as the Libertarian Party’s candidate has softened the center even more. There was a poll (in June, I believe), conducted by local pollster Matt Towery (a former GOP state congressman in GA) that actually had Obama and McCain tied within the margin of error in GA.

IMO, the confluence of a weak and undesirable GOP candidate, a charismatic Democratic candidate and a well-known LP candidate from GA all combine to make Georgia one of 2004′s strongly red states that could be flippable this year.

The battle lines are clearly drawn. McCain wants to weaken Obama in the Northeast and Great Lakes. Obama wants to weaken McCain in the Deep South and Mid-Atlantic. FL would be a great prize to Obama. GA and/or NC less so, but still substantial. Any VP with strong defense credentials from he Deep South or Mid-Atlantic (e.g. Nunn or Webb) would be helpful in peeling off votes in those regions.

Say, if Obama picks Richardson and McCain picks Charlie Crist, then that means both candidates would have bearded running mates

Very clever, sir.

The only veep-stakes I can remember where CW came through was Kerry 2004. Sam Nunn was always the pick of the press corp. and it never, ever happened.

o how does this “foreign policy experience” impact a new president.

I think all it means is that at least one of the two of them can find Moscow, Jakarta or Almaty on a map, and know the difference between a Shia and Sunni?

Please no Bayh. He ain’t Birch (and I’m an older ex-patriot Hoosier.)
As a cheesehead, I can only hope that Russ continues to be a super patriot and runs after BHO can’t run again in 2016.

Denver mayor John Hickenlooper.

Not only would the combination of names be entirely mellifluous and hypnotic–Obama/Hickenlooper–but did your mayor jump out of an airplane to get elected?

I propose the VP sweepstakes be limited to people with cool guitars. Surely it is too early to rule out bass players.

Bozo the clown could do it.

You know, he’s right.

Bozo the Clown could do it.

Ladies and gentlemen – it’s Obama/Bozo 08!

For the alliteration, if for no other reason.
